Every close game is ultimately decided by a couple of key possessions (on both sides of the ball).In last night's 3-point loss, we made some pretty boned-headed mistakes that cost us the game.
Offensively, we had eight bad (forced) passes that resulted in turnovers, we had six dribble related turnovers and three traveling calls (middle school mistakes). We missed 14 FT's (we shot 33.3% at the line compared with their 63.1%).
Defensively, we allowed two uncontested 3's from #24 after we had talked about how we were NOT going to allow her a good look at the basket.
Yet with all those mistakes, with the horrible calls that were made (a technical foul called for throwing a punch that connected and no ejection!!!), with the dirty play from a few of their players which resulted in a broken nose for Hannah and a bloody nose for Olivia... and on their home court... we lose by only 3-points.
I'm proud of the way we played with poise and not allowing their aggressiveness to bait us into playing the same way.
